Hi !

I've tried to test the new <dependency> feature on Win32.
It seems that V2 has some problems due to win32 drive letters.
My own sources (and test case) are located on drive f:
boost lives happily amongs other libraries on E:\Libraries\boost.

When I try to use
use-project /boost : E:\Libraries\boost ;

and issue
bjam --v2 msvc in my cygwin bash I get the message:

e:\libraries\boost/tools/build/new\project.jam:284: in load-jamfile 
from module project
error: Unable to load Jamfile.
Could not find a Jamfile in directory 
'../../e:\libraries\boost../boost-v2'.
Attempted to find it with pattern '[Jj]amfile [Jj]amfile.jam'.
Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'.

I'm using Vladimirs "boost-v2" in order to avoid clashes with V1 
Jamfiles. 

The problem seems to be that V2 fails to recognise the absolute Path 
"E:\" on Windows. It tries to cd ../../, and then down relatively. 
This would work on single rooted unix, but not on win32.

I've attached the full output.

This time, I've got _no_ test case, since the problem should be easy 
to reproduce. Just try to "use-project" boost from another drive an 
Windows.

Yours,

Jürgen
